Be Of Good Faith
Letters are pretty important things. You never can tell
by the envelope just what you tire going to find inside—
heartease or heartbreak, tradegy or triviality, inspiration
or despair.
The other day I received a letter that had in it one
sentence which has haunted me ever since. "Hell is the
absence of hope and of faith." Here are some of the
thoughts it has anoused.
When you lose faith in a person, you lose more than
that person. You chip off your faith in other people. You
become unsure (of your own judgment. Instead of making
allowances for a certain number of wrong guesses about
people, you put undue stress on your disappointment. Instead of crossing that person out iof your life, once careful
and objective checking proves your loss of faith is justified,
you let it continue to distress you. You build up your own
hell.
When a nation loses faith, what happens? First it
loses faith in its leader. In the beginning this is one leader,
but it too soon resolves itself into losing faith in all leaders.
Then the collective mind becomes chaotic and prey to all
sorts of suggestions. "If tliis is not true, then nothing is
true. Then there is no reason-why we should not follow any
course that may seem momentarily easier." And that is
the beginning of the end of that nation, and its descent into
hell.
When you lose hope, the light has been turned out in
your heart. It makes no particular difference what that
hope is—for whatever the form it takes, it is a hope of
security—security of body, of mind, or of the spirit. What
should be a natural prerequisite of mankind becomes vague
and chimerical. A much-to-be-desired goal which, if it is
ever even faintly glimpsed, inspires gratitude. A very wise
man once told me—"It is a tragic thing when men are
greatful for their just deserts." Good is just as real as evil.
We shouM expect the good to happen, not await the evil in
dreadful anticipation. Loss of hope is the door that shuts
us into hell.
When a nation loses hope, it has not only its future
but its memory of that past. Since it cannot look ahead,
the things behind it—the work, the dreams, the plans—
are meaningless. It is no longer a nation—just a collection
of despondent people, ready to seize on new alliances, to
swarm into another alien hive. It has died in its own hell.
What is the answer? It lies within the individual. Faith
and Hope must be capitalized. Not faith in the individual
man, but faith in God's goodness. Not hope for material
benefits of another's bringing, but hope in the reward of
our own work well; done. We make our own hell. We can
destroy*our own hell.
Affirmative Patriotism
In the world of today, it is the one-worlder who has
the reactionary approach. It is the Patriot who has the
constructive, progressive, positive approach. The Patriot is
for freedom, for limitation of government power, for America, standing firm for the principles of freedom.
If this affirmative policy of wanting our government
to give first attention to what is best for the Utnited States
is to be called nationalism, then we need more nationalism.
This is our country. This is our freedom. We know the
American way of life is a good one. We cherish it. But too
many of us have become casual about our freedom. Now
vfQ need to take action.
We need a,great dynamic wave iof Americanism, and
we Ameiicans need to be gloriously, enthusiastically pro-
American. We need to salute dur f-lag with new enthusiasm.
We need to sing our national anthem -with new vigor.
Now is the time for us to be emphatically American—
to put the accent on the positive, not the negative.
This kind of nationalism—love of our country and the
freedoms we enjoy—is the kind of nationalism which will
on6 day bring freedom to all mankind. One tiling-is.certain:
such; a spirit spreading throughout our country would leave
no room for wrong thinking doctrines in the United States.
When the enslaved countries of the world begin to believe that America loves fre'edbfn' enough' to stand firm for
it, that we are going to stand for their' freedom by hot
recognizing their enslavers, then the tide will begin to turn
in favor of freedom.
Russia is holdly and shrewdly selling 'Communism to
nation after nation. But the United States is- not selling
freedom; it is sending foreign aid to Communist dictators.
For years the United States, has been ..waiting. to ^see
■what Russia, would xlo next. We need to reverse this-situation. Let Russia wait to see what the United States is going
to do next. And let us do' what will convince the world that
ours is the valid'way, that our environment of freedom
is the kind in which men can realize his fullest ^potential of
productive, happy living.' •
We need a great tital wave of American enthusiasm.
Though our President and other leaders in our national
capital can give it impetus,", it cannot .he. starMi entirely in
Washington. It is something that must well .up from the
people.

Q. HOW CROWDED ARE THE PRESENT BUILDINGS?
City's Business Leaders
Look Toward New Era
A.
Enrollment in both the Junior High School and Hoover High
School is 143 pupils more than were present at the close of
school in May 1961. This represents approximately four additional classrooms of pupils, figuring 35 pupils t& a room.
There will be a similar increase next year.
1. The Junior High building has a total enrollment of 536
pupils which makes an average of 31 in each 7th grade
section and 33 in each 8th grade section. There is one
classroom which does not have a home room section assigned to it, although it does serve as a visual education
room. Present classrooms are in use daily in excess of
90 percent utilization. Next year will find utilization of
this building at maximum. Proposed expansion would
provide capacity for 1100.
2. Hoover High building occupied in 1957 had a classroom
rated capacity of 750. With 4 classrooms added in 1959,
this was increased to 900. In grades 9 through 12, present
enrollment in Hoover High is 919. With a 9th grade class
of 326 and a senior class of 161, it is evident what the
situation is that must be faced. Presently home-room
enrollment at Hoover averages 35 per room. Class sections vary in size. Lecture sections will run as high as
65, with History classes averaging 33. Room utilization
is in excess of 95 percent for daily use of classrooms,
laboratories and shop areas. Operating now at maximum
rated capacity, next year's enrollment in grades 9
through 12 estimated to be 1085 will present a situation
that will be crowded beyond maintaining a quality and
effective program of instruction.
Worm Canton residents can read all aboi t the coming
election — candidates and issues — in the Local Candidates
Bulletin, which is going into every home in the City.
Door-to-door distribution of 3,000 four-page voters guides
began this week. More than 150 Republican Party workers
-will complete the distribution by Nov. 4.
Mrs. Carl H. Mayer of 220 Briar Ave. (right) is already
busy in Precinct C of Ward 2 delivering her share of the
bulletins.
Even young Kimberly, 18 months, was interested when
Mrs. Mayer stepped to chat with Mrs. Robert Shuster, her
next-door neighbor. Mrs. Shuster is Kim's mother.
The bulletin was published through the efforts of the
North Canton Republican Party and is non-partisan in
nature.
23 Ka aver Debaters
Atfesid NFL Opener
'North Canton's National Forensic League was well represented by 23 students in t h e
opening speech tournament Saturday, Oct. 21, at Glenwood
High School.
A discussion conference on
"What Should Bo the Role of
the Federal Government in Education?" laid the groundwork
for the debate topic that will
be argued during the season-
Resolved: That the federal government should equalize educational opportunity by mean.s of
grants to the state for public
and . secondary schools.
The participants, divided into
groups of S-10, discussed both
the history of education from
the Land Act of 1785 to Kennedy's plan for Federal aid to
education, and the question of
need for aid to .schools and possible government control.
'IT o o v e r students attending
were Roger Kolp, Dick McDowell, Jean Wilson', Penny Martelet, Tom Sell, Doug Smith,
Phyllis Lukens, Beth Sponseller,
Gwen Spence, Joan Correll, Virginia Dunmire, Jim Mambourg,

nileigh Reed, Lee Rainey, Bob
McElwee, Lezie Ann Helke, Vivienne Martin, Judy Thursby,
Ann Gilbert and Gail Mallard.
Jesse McDowell is the debate
coach and NJ.L advisor at Hoover.
A Jaycee buying habit survey, conducted about two
years ago, pointed out the drastic need for some plan to
improve o/xisting stores and also to bring in new stores to
satisfy the needs of .North Canton's exploding population.
After many consultations and meetings with experts
dux-ing the past two years, it has been decided to hire expert planners.
They will come in and analyize the needs of the area
and give recommendations on how best to solve our problems.
A foundation litis been formed to raise $4,0(K) for this
purpose. Federal funds are expected to help finance tlie
project.
The Central North Canton Improvement Foundation
hits reached 22'/■> percent of its goal.

Be Of Good Faith
Letters are pretty important things. You never can tell
by the envelope just what you tire going to find inside—
heartease or heartbreak, tradegy or triviality, inspiration
or despair.
The other day I received a letter that had in it one
sentence which has haunted me ever since. "Hell is the
absence of hope and of faith." Here are some of the
thoughts it has anoused.
When you lose faith in a person, you lose more than
that person. You chip off your faith in other people. You

you let it continue to distress you. You build up your own

but it too soon resolves itself into losing faith in all leaders.
Then the collective mind becomes chaotic and prey to all
sorts of suggestions. "If tliis is not true, then nothing is
true. Then there is no reason-why we should not follow any
course that may seem momentarily easier." And that is
the beginning of the end of that nation, and its descent into
hell.
When you lose hope, the light has been turned out in
your heart. It makes no particular difference what that
hope is—for whatever the form it takes, it is a hope of
security—security of body, of mind, or of the spirit. What
should be a natural prerequisite of mankind becomes vague

What is the answer? It lies within the individual. Faith

Q. HOW CROWDED ARE THE PRESENT BUILDINGS?
City's Business Leaders
Look Toward New Era
A.
Enrollment in both the Junior High School and Hoover High
School is 143 pupils more than were present at the close of
school in May 1961. This represents approximately four additional classrooms of pupils, figuring 35 pupils t& a room.
There will be a similar increase next year.
1. The Junior High building has a total enrollment of 536
pupils which makes an average of 31 in each 7th grade
section and 33 in each 8th grade section. There is one
classroom which does not have a home room section assigned to it, although it does serve as a visual education
room. Present classrooms are in use daily in excess of
90 percent utilization. Next year will find utilization of
this building at maximum. Proposed expansion would
provide capacity for 1100.
2. Hoover High building occupied in 1957 had a classroom
rated capacity of 750. With 4 classrooms added in 1959,
this was increased to 900. In grades 9 through 12, present
enrollment in Hoover High is 919. With a 9th grade class
of 326 and a senior class of 161, it is evident what the
situation is that must be faced. Presently home-room
enrollment at Hoover averages 35 per room. Class sections vary in size. Lecture sections will run as high as
65, with History classes averaging 33. Room utilization
is in excess of 95 percent for daily use of classrooms,
laboratories and shop areas. Operating now at maximum
rated capacity, next year's enrollment in grades 9
through 12 estimated to be 1085 will present a situation
that will be crowded beyond maintaining a quality and
effective program of instruction.
Worm Canton residents can read all aboi t the coming
election — candidates and issues — in the Local Candidates
Bulletin, which is going into every home in the City.
Door-to-door distribution of 3,000 four-page voters guides
began this week. More than 150 Republican Party workers
-will complete the distribution by Nov. 4.

improve o/xisting stores and also to bring in new stores to
satisfy the needs of .North Canton's exploding population.
After many consultations and meetings with experts
dux-ing the past two years, it has been decided to hire expert planners.
They will come in and analyize the needs of the area

purpose. Federal funds are expected to help finance tlie
project.

retyirts §900 of the required $4,000, collected in cash or
pledges.
